It's a really super simple process. And you just need a few things!
You need studs, which I found on ebay. I bought a back of 100 or so for about $4.00. You also need a t-shirt or whatever else you want to put the studs on. I bought one of the relaxed fits at Old Navy for $7.50 but you could use an old t-shirt or a sweater or whatever you want!
After making my shirt, fabric glue would also be a good thing to have to glue your studs down after you make your shirt but that's not a necessity.
Essentially, you take your stud, poke it through your shirt and then told down the edges. I would make sure you fold your edges inward toward the stud like the pictures show above. For one, these keeps the edges from poking into your skin and it also helps the studs stay in your shirt a bit better.
Here's one side of my completed shirt! I decided to make designs on the shoulders because that's what I've been lusting over but you could also do studs along the neckline or sleeves if you wanted to!
Now, to see how I styled this shirt, head on over to Hairspray and High Heels where I'm guest posting today!

I LOVE THIS!!!! I've been in love with all the studded crap lately but like you said didn't wanna show off my stomach and I didn't wanna pay $20+ for a freakin' shirt!
A t-shirt I already own and $4 studs sounds a heck of a lot better than a $20 t-shirt! Annnd, I think hubs would agree, which is always an added bonus :) Weekend project - check!
I love this! Such a great idea (and perfect for fall)! Thanks for sharing, Paige! Definitely adding this DIY to my list!
that is so cool :) I haven't really done a lot of crafting lately, but I might try this!
In LOVE with this!! I am seriously going to do this too...there are really cute shirts at the mall that aren't expensive but pre-studded ones are. Thank you thank you!
It looks really good!
